Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors

industrial resistor product for your

are designed to provide added safety to industrial distribution systems by limiting ground
fault current to reasonable levels. In a typical solidly grounded four wire system, the
neutral is tied directly to earth ground. This
can cause high ground fault current (typically
10,000 to 20,000 amps) and excessive damage to transformers, generators, motors, wiring,
and associated equipment. Inserting an Avtron

application, contact your Avtron

sales engineer at (216) 573-7600
or resistors@avtron.com.

Avtron Grounding Resistor rated 4160

volts L-L, 2400 volts L-N, 600 amps,
10 seconds installed at customers site.

Neutral Grounding Resistor between neutral

and ground limits fault current to a safe level
(typically 25 to 400 amps) while still allowing
sufficient current flow to operate fault clearing
relays. Limiting fault current also reduces the
problem of transient overvoltages (up to six
times normal voltage) which can occur during
arcing type ground faults.

INDUSTRY LEADING DESIGNS
Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors are engineered with reliability, safety, and ease of installation as
top priorities. Resistor elements, terminals, support rods
and exterior fasteners are made from
stainless steel for added durability.
Enclosures are manufactured from
corrosion resistant aluminized steel
finished with ASA-61 gray powder
coat paint. Multi-lingual voltage warning signs are provided for increased
safety. Forged lifting eyes are
furnished for easy handling. Internal
connection points eliminate conventional live external bushings and

FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS

Neutral Grounding Transformers

are similar in design to Avtron Neutral Grounding
Resistors and provide high resistance grounding
for medium voltage generators and transformers.
The standard package consists of a single-phase,
dry-type, Epoxycast transformer plus a secondary power resistor, mounted in a common enclosure.
The transformer is typically selected with a primary
voltage equal to or greater than the system voltage
to maintain a high insulation rating for added safety.
The transformer secondary is rated at 240 volts and
factory wired to the resistor. The resistor is sized so
the fault current reflected through the transformer produces the desired fault current on the system neutral
(typically 2 to 12 amps for 60 seconds). A voltage relay
connected to the secondary resistor is used to detect

right neutral grounding resistor or

Avtron Neutral Grounding Resistors

industrial resistor product for your

are designed to provide added safety to industrial distribution systems by limiting ground
fault current to reasonable levels. In a typical solidly grounded four wire system, the
neutral is tied directly to earth ground. This
can cause high ground fault current (typically
10,000 to 20,000 amps) and excessive damage to transformers, generators, motors, wiring,
and associated equipment. Inserting an Avtron

application, contact your Avtron

sales engineer at (216) 573-7600
or resistors@avtron.com.

Avtron Grounding Resistor rated 4160

volts L-L, 2400 volts L-N, 600 amps,
10 seconds installed at customers site.

Neutral Grounding Resistor between neutral

and ground limits fault current to a safe level
(typically 25 to 400 amps) while still allowing
sufficient current flow to operate fault clearing
relays. Limiting fault current also reduces the
problem of transient overvoltages (up to six
times normal voltage) which can occur during
arcing type ground faults.
